MONDAY: MARC JACOBS SS13 HOMME

BUGSY MALONE MEETS MADMEN MEETS 80'S PASTEL PRINTS MEETS MODERN JAPAN:this is a super strong collection that infuses masculinity with playfulness. The cuts take the mind back to country shooting parties in the 20's and 30's- Fat Sam's speakeasy is in full swing here. But there is a modernity + simpleness with a Janpenese edge and tailoring that is seriously grown up that pushes this collection firmly in to London/Paris/NY in 2013. I love the print selection along with the stripes which perfectly counterbalance the more muted looks. My only criticism is the hats! i get why they are there, but for me they just aren't cutting the mustard. **loving - proper prints for men / the tailoring is spot on / bugsy malone vibes** loathing - the hats!!

Access the look by:opting just for the shoes with rolled up jeans / tailored slacks / a natty pair of shorts and a pair of strathcona socks (featured on this blog: link below) a good quality button up shirt and a tidy head of hair.STRATHCONA SOCKS

orjust get one of those suits for work, rest and play and feel like the bees knees
